Setting Browser Filters

The three browsers have configurable Filter windows that are available using the Set Filters choice in the Filter item on the menu bar. The filters are used to change the way information is displayed in the device list. Figure 4-22 shows the Slice Filters window.

Disk Type toggle button

Turning on the Disk Type toggle button enables you to select the types of disks you wish to have displayed in the browser. The menu always enables you to select Any, but the other selections depend on the types of disks attached to your system.
